uuuuummmm.....interesting ? most people on this site are teens so if your a paedophile i guess its interesting listening to people talking about hot pick-ups and groaning on about what guitar "sounds" better than another obviously these people are also on all the auto forums telling everyone about vw golf vr6 and how powerfull it is now that they spent thousands on it same people really just men saying mines bigger than yours basically

Hi

I am JJ, a novice death metal guitarist from near Cincinnati, and I would have a band but the area sucks.
Right now I am looking for band members and tutorials on how to remove the paint from then swirl my RG421.

hey,
Joined up for the info/talk about Universe guitars.
I own a '97 UV7SBK. I'm the original owner, bought it from
Bizarre Guitar in Sparks NV.
Not a particularly desirable Universe, but it's been a good guitar
for all these years.

Hi, my names is Justin and I have been playing guitar for over 20 years. My music interests are diverse, from classical thru to metal. I would consider myself a closet guitar enthusiast . I've played the music circuit in Frankfurt, Birmingham and Milton Keynes (such exotic locations!) but have now settled down with family and career but still have my rig and a dedicated music room. I own a Marshall stack, Digitech GSP2101 Studio Effects Processor, a range of pedals and play these through my Strat, Les Paul or PRS. Ibanez is missing from my collection but have been reading this site for over a year and am looking to join the Ibanez community!

Hi everyone,

My name is Jose, I am from Madrid (Spain) but have been living in London (UK) for the past few years. I haven't owned an Ibanez in a while but have been thinking about getting one for a few months now. So, I am looking forward to discussing music and all sorts of gear, as well as getting up to speed with all things Ibanez.

Re: New members - introduce yourself here.

Hello everyone.

I'm an American currently living in Nagoya, Japan (home of Hoshino Gakki). I started playing guitar about a year ago (still a noob even though I'm 32) and I only play Ibanez. I bought a GRX40 Beam blue at first, but got tired of the pups so I bought an RG350EXZ (got tired of the INF pups so put Evo pups in it) and then bought an RG1550M PBL (its an overseas model, not meant for sale in Japan, got it as outlet merchandise) because I liked the V7-S1-V8 pups.

I frequent the local guitar shops but you'd be surprised how few Ibanez guitars there are just sitting in the guitar shops here. The only one I tend to see a large number of Ibanez guitars at is Shimamura (a national instrument chain) and Shimamura even gets Shimamura-only Ibanez models every year. They are typically priced in between standard RGs and Premiums but have better pups than standard RGs (this year's models have Duncan pups).

I'm here to talk about Ibby stuff because you cant find that many people here who like or use Ibby guitars.
